Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to eyewear, and more particularly to an eyewear communications system.
  • Eyewear conventionally included, for example, glasses to improve vision by focusing objects, and binoculars to enlarge objects at a distance.
  • eyewear now include displays for providing information including pictures and streaming video.
  • Binocular displays include head mounted displays such as glasses and helmet mounted displays wherein a virtual image is presented to each eye.
  • the image usually created by a microdisplay, for example an LCD screen, may be presented to the eye by means of refractive or reflective optics, such as through a lens system.
  • the virtual images presented to each eye are perfectly aligned and the user perceives a single image similar to their perception of real images.
  • the images may be stored within the eyewear or provided from another source.
  • Some known eyewear include cameras that record what is being seen and transmit the image omni-directionally to a remote display, while other eyewear may include displays for receiving video. Furthermore, known wireless technologies do not transfer at a high enough data rate to send the video data uncompressed and transmit at a high power that drains batteries.
  • Figure 1 is an isometric view of eyewear in accordance with an exemplary embodiment
  • Figure 2 is schematic top view of the exemplary embodiment
  • Figure 3 is a typical circuit for summing received signals that may be used with the exemplary embodiment
  • Figure 4 is a schematic of a first signal transmitted from the exemplary embodiment
  • Figure 5 is a schematic of a second signal transmitted from the exemplary embodiment.
  • Figure 6 is a schematic of a third signal transmitted from the exemplary embodiment.
  • Eyewear that transmits information including messages and streaming video in a limited direction to a desired receiver, such as eyewear worn by others, thereby providing a more secure transmission.
  • the eyewear includes antenna having overlapping beams or an arrayed antenna system for providing the transmitted beam, for example, with a directivity greater than 1OdBi (1OdB more directive than an isotropic antenna).
  • the information may be transmitted in a burst to reduce power expenditure, and may be compressed for additional security of transmission.
  • An omni-directional transmission may be accomplished by selecting specific antennas.
  • a separate transmitter and receiver may be operated at different frequencies for power reduction.
  • the eyewear provides enhancements with respect to human factors by providing a hands-free viewing experience and the ability to communicate with others in the immediate vicinity.
  • eyewear and more specifically a binocular display device 100 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment, comprises a housing 102 including an image receiving device 104, optics system 106, and display modification system 108.
  • the image receiving device 104 may, for example, comprise an input (not shown) for wired or wireless coupling or an electronic device for receiving and reading video data from a DVD or the like.
  • the optics system 106 includes a first microdisplay 112 and a first lens 114 for displaying an image for an eye, and a second microdisplay 116 and a second lens 118 for displaying the image to the other eye. It should be understood that there are many types of optical systems that may include, for example, mirrors and/or waveguides.
  • the display modification system 108 includes a microcomputer 126 and memory 128 coupled to the image receiving device 104, and a display driver 130 coupled between the microcomputer 126 and the microdisplays 112 and 116.
  • the microcomputer 126 and/or the memory 128 may be integrated into the binocular display device 100 or may reside elsewhere and be coupled electronically to the binocular display device 100.
  • the eyewear 100 in accordance with the exemplary embodiment includes antennas 142 positioned on support members 140 (for securing to a user head) of the housing 102, and antennas 144 positioned on the face member 146.
  • a flexible securing strap 156 may be attached to the support members 140 for securing the eyewear 100 to a users head, and may include additional antenna 158.
  • the embodiment shown describes an apparatus similar to a pair of eye glasses, the apparatus may take other forms, such as a helmet.
  • a control panel 152 including one or more inputs 154 is positioned on one of the support frames 140 and coupled to the microcomputer 126.
  • the inputs 154 may be buttons, touch panels, and may include a curser moving input more commonly referred to as a mouse.
  • Information may be received by any of the antennas 142, 144, 158 and provided to the image receiving device 104 (which may be a receiver in some embodiments) via antenna bus 164, wherein the information is processed.
  • the placement of the antennas 142, 144, 158 on each of the support frames 140, face plate 146, and flexible securing strap 156 provide reception regardless of which way the head (eyewear) is turned.
  • Placement of the antenna 142, 144, 158 circumferentially around the eyewear 100 (around the head) allows for reception, regardless of in which direction the transmission occurs. For example, if the transmitter is directly in front of the eyewear 100, the antennas 144 probably provide the best reception.
  • Figure 3 is exemplary circuitry that sums a signal received at one of the antennas 142 and one of the antennas 158.
  • Resistors 302 and 304 are coupled between the antennas 142 and 158, respectively, and a negative input of operational amplifier 306.
  • a feedback resistor 308 is coupled between the output of the operational amplifier 306 and its negative input.
  • a negative input of operational amplifier 314 is coupled to the output of operational amplifier 306 by resistor 312, and is coupled to its output by feedback resistor 316.
  • the positive inputs of operational amplifiers 306 and 314 are coupled to a reference potential, for example, ground.
  • the output of operational amplifier 314 is coupled to the antenna bus 164, and to the reference potential by a resistor 318.
  • This exemplary circuit of Figure 3 is a variation of a typical op-amp summation circuit. Though two inputs from antennas 142, 158 are shown, additional inputs may be provided. Typically, a receiver (not shown) would be coupled between the antennas 142, 158 and resistors 302, 304.
  • Figures 4 through 6 illustrate how the transmission capabilities of the eyewear 100 may be used.
  • the antennas 144 (see Figure 2) are connected in an array to transmit a directional signal 402 from the eyewear 100 to a specific receiver, such as eyewear 404. Since the transmitted signal 402 is directional, it is not received by the eyewear 406, 408, 410, and receivers 412, 414.
  • the directional signal 402 may be transmitted to any of the other eyewear 406, 408, 410, and receivers 412, 414 by turning the head in their direction. Alternatively, the direction of the signal 402 may be changed by modifying the array pattern, resulting in the signal 402 being received by the eyewear 408, for example ( Figure 5).
  • the directionality of the array may be determined by a signal, or beacon, received from the intended target eyewear 408.
  • An indication of the transmitting eyewear 100 may be provided to the user of where the signal is being transmitted and the strength of the signal.
  • an omnidirectional signal 602 may be transmitted to each the eyewear 406, 408, 410, and receivers 412, 414 ( Figure 6). This may be accomplished by code within the transmitted signal or manually via the control panel 152.
